When it comes to learning cooking, how can one move beyond mere memorization? The abundance of cooking content available online, from YouTube to various websites, mostly revolves around following recipes. However, I'm intrigued by the idea of a scientific approach to cooking. While "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking" touched on this, I'm looking for something more rigorous. For instance, when recipes specify cooking meat up to a certain temperature, I wonder about the underlying principles behind such instructions. Where can I find resources to gain a deeper understanding of the science behind cooking and learn such valuable insights?
